Back to familiar territory, mono and aircraft.
A Bristol 188 supersonic research aircraft which could only achieve Mach 1.88 rather than Mach 2, and couldn't maintain the speed long enough to study structural heating effects. The project was cancelled in 1964 after two years but the technical knowledge obtined was used in the Concorde programme.
